Christina was amazing. Daniel the driver was amazing. My husband and Kids had an amazing time. Family friendly adventure and the beauty of nature all in one. It was an amazing day!
Anisa, we truly appreciate your honest review and kind words. We always thrive in offering the best experiences to our visitors and are glad you and your family had a great day with our local guide and our driver. Best regards from Minca.
Fantastic tour- our best on our trip. Christina took great care of us and let us dictate the amount of time we spent at the waterfalls, lunch and the coffee plantation. The trip up the Sierra Navada mountains to the Minca town was a delightful break from the heat at the coast. Our son enjoyed the optional zip line. Everything was perfect. This is a great addition to any Santa Marta visit.
Thank you very much for your honest review, we are glad you and your family enjoyed your day with our guide around the natural wonders of the Sierra Nevada. You´re always welcome, best regards.
Frederico was amazing, he took care of us from fetching us from our villa to making sure we had a great time and getting us back to our car without us ever having to worry about the logistics. I highly recommend this experience to enjoy the beauty and culture of Colombia and Minca
Thank you very much for your review, and we´re very happy that you enjoyed our experecience with our guide Federico. Best regards
Breathtaking experience at Marinka Waterfall in Minca! This trip was well-planned from start to finish. The journey to the waterfall was an adventure in itself, with stunning views of the lush mountainside along the way. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our amazing tour guide and took another ride in a 4x4 to arrive at the entrance of the waterfalls. The sight and sound of the cascading waterfall – truly a sight to behold. The crystal-clear water was refreshing, and swimming in the water was an unforgettable experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, enriching the excursion with his tips and took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch. He provided us with everything we needed for a successful excursion. This trip exceeded all expectations and left us with memories to last a lifetime. A must-do for anyone visiting Minca!
The entire day was excellent. Christina was super knowledgeable and kind. The coffee was outstanding and the lunch was delicious. The waterfall was refreshing and beautiful. The moto ride up was a blast and very safe. Learning about the cocoa plant and processing procedure was fun. 100% recommend this tour.
This was by far one of the most enjoyable tours I have ever been on! You're taken on a journey through the mountains of coastal Colombia where you are taught about how some of Colombia's most valuable exports are produced. The guides and drivers were the highlight of the experience! Federico, Ronaldo and Alvaro especially, they could not have done a better job and they all went above and beyond what was expected! All the people in the community that I interacted with were unbelievably kind and excited to share their culture with others. It's a family business run by locals and it could not have been more perfect!!!!
Our tour guide Christina was the greatest and kindest guide ever. Very informative and welcoming. The guys that drove us to the waterfalls were friendly and patient. Overall an amazing ecperience
The guides and transportation were great, the cacao was to die for, incredible views and experiences.
This experience exceeded all expectations. The tour guides were amazing and extremely knowledgeable of everything, from the plants you’d hike by to the process of coffee and cocoa! You’ll come across different varieties of animals and birds! Get ready for an authentic ride in motorcycles though the jungle, enjoy the ride and get ready to live the most unforgettable experience!!!
This was such a fun day. Got picked up in a cab and drove for an hour to Minca town. There we were picked up by the guides on their motorbikes. They drove us to the waterfalls first and left us plenty of time to swim. Then we drove to the top of the mountain to the Sierra Minca hostel and we had 2 hours there to enjoy the views and swim in the heated pool. My only thought was they could leave us some time to wander in Minca town before getting the cab to take us back to Santa Marta.
